I use media-video/ati-drivers-3.14.1, the last 'stable' ones in x86 |
| 19 |
portage tree. So what is your procedure after upgrading a kernel? I |
| 20 |
only do |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
emerge ati-drivers && opengl-update ati |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
am I missing something? Also I am quite confused of the |
| 25 |
UseInternalAGPGart option which is so often mentioned in all the |
| 26 |
howtos, how do i determine if i shoud check it? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Thanks for any ideas. |
